when I invite you to my house for dinner and you have the gall to ask me who else is coming.
And you're a pompous, self-centered orifice in the rear end if your acceptance of my invitation is then *dependent* on how I answer your stupid question.
Please do us both a favor and tell me you can't make it by pretending your kid is sick.
Just don’t call it genocide

"orifice in the rear end" haha that is the best one I heard in ages. The other is 'peanut in fecal matter' = pain in the orifice in the rear end!!!
i often am guilty of asking this question, but my acceptance is not conditional on whose coming. Usually just trying to make small talk, or just get some info on which crowd this is.
lol... ok dude.. "halal hug" for you. It might not be about you brother.. the person could be avoiding someone else.
I'm really confused...Maybe this is something someone of my age will not understand.(having people over at your house)?

Assalaamu alaikum,
When I invite people I usually just tell them who else is coming and I'm sure I have even asked on occasion but yeah... my acceptance is not conditional so I hear your frustration. :? I reckon hijabisoverrated is onto something though. ;)
I was thinking don't let others "interesting" behavior take away potential brownie barakat points you could get from your Lord SWT.
there u go with the "shock blog" again, lol
Well the point of a dinner party is to socialize with other people, isn't it? And why should a person be expected to socialize with a group he/she doesn't like? They're doing you a favor by asking, and possibly declining the invitation--you won't have to put up with their obnoxious company. :-)
I can't believe you would play me out like this in front of the world.
Our so called "friendship" is over!
Really?! So no one finds such behavior totally obnoxious?! Someone invites you and you all find it perfectly acceptable to ask who else is coming?! Really?!?
Seriously, what good can even come from asking? If the answer is to your liking, you'll accept and if not, you'll decline?! Say what?! Isn't that just rude?
Will you people decline an invitation based on who else will be there?! C'mon, isn't that rude and inconsiderate to the host who desires your company?!
You people got some 'splainin to do.
Oh and none of y'all are ever gonna be invited to my place. Can you say blacklisted? :-P

Thank you,
this is for you BrNaeem
wow... man... phewwww... I'll keep that in mind the next time you invite me over haha... assalamu alaikom akhi.. how are you? too bad you couldn't join me this weekend for my trip to the eastern province... was definitely an experience hehe... i'll be sharing it soon insha'Allah on my blog.
but man... chill! like hijabisoverrated (rethink the nick sista) said, he might have had a reason for asking such a question... or hey.. maybe he wasn't making it dependent on who's coming... I vividly remember you asking me who else was joining us for outings I've invited you to... mmhmmm... haha jk bro... I'm sure it was in his tone or something!
AA-
Abu Asiyah?! Oh my folks, we are in the company of blogging royalty here! I'm so honored to have the creator of Minjid.com visit my humble space on the blogosphere. :-P
"he might have had a reason for asking such a question"
Not buying that bro. Like I said, what could possible be a good reason for asking? You may not like someone in the guest list? So what?! Just come, eat, and leave if you got problems with someone else...I won't force you to dance in an open field bollywood-style with that person. I promise. :-)
This is why I love evite so much, though. You can see, long in advance, who all has been invited and who has RSVP'd! That way you don't find yourself at a party with a crowd that likes to do things that... eh... you don't like to do.
One of my good friends was having a bridal shower, today. I skipped it. If someone I liked had been hosting it, you bet I'd've been there, but it was some people who I didn't want to have to get all dressed up for, so... I didn't. And in the process saved myself hours which would have been spent tediously trying to appease the hosts, which for me does not make a party fun.
Sometimes being social is just too much work!!
AA- Amy,
Thank you for your comment.
"I skipped it. If someone I liked had been hosting it, you bet I'd've been there,"
That's all fine and well. You exercised your right not to attend. Cool.
But my beef is with people who want to come, but only if the guest list is to their liking.
If you're cool with the host, then the hell with everyone else, no?
Salaam Naeem
"If you're cool with the host, then the hell with everyone else, no?"
Except for that fact you have to socialize with everyone else too--and not just the host.
Have you ever read Miss Manners Etiquette guides and such?
Abu Asiyah said... "like hijabisoverrated (rethink the nick sista)"
Nah, no thank you. Trust me when I tell you I reflected long and hard over the name before I posted it.
AA- Amy,
"Except for that fact you have to socialize with everyone else too--and not just the host."
I understand, but doesn't the right of the host (that you accept the invitation) overrule your personal likes/dislikes of the other guests?
"Have you ever read Miss Manners Etiquette guides and such?"
Sometimes. I can't say I always agree with them. What do they say on this matter?
man... enough about this... how about we all go out to Dr. Cafe or something this weekend... oh and by the way Shariq and Saad will most likely join...
... you still coming? HAHA jk bro.. playing with you... wait... you would still come right? *wink
Salaam Naeem -
I'm actually not sure what Miss Manners says about this particular issue. She'd probably take your side--that you are right to be offended. But then I guess she'd say that the host's job is to make everyone else comfortable, and not the guests' job to make the host comfortable.
